Opening Celebration Day

College World Series

Opening Celebration Day

WHEN: Friday, June 16

WHERE: TD Ameritrade Park Omaha

COST: FREE and open to the public

Before the heat starts tearing from the hill. Before the first snap of the catcher’s glove, crack of the bat, bang-bang play at the bag. Before your residency becomes those great seats you settle back into every June.

Before the sweet Omaha sunshine kisses that good old Kentucky bluegrass.

It all begins with a daylong celebration of the student-athletes and the top eight teams in the nation.

Fans, don’t get yourself in a pickle, come down early and stay all day.
